MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
Spike Lee directs this cinematic capturing of Mike Tyson's autobiographical one-man Broadway show in which the controversial former heavyweight champion shares stories about his tough childhood, his remarkable career, his time in prison, and the many difficult lessons he's learned.
In MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH, the audience is taken on a riveting journey through the life of one of boxing's most notorious figures. The show delves deep into Tyson's complex personality, shedding light on the various influences that shaped him both inside and outside the boxing ring.
Childhood Trauma and Influences
Tyson's childhood was far from ordinary. Growing up in the tough neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York, he faced numerous challenges that would leave an indelible mark on his life. He was surrounded by crime and violence, often having to fight to survive. Tyson candidly shares about the impact of losing his mother at a young age and how it fueled his anger and desperation. The influence of his mentor, Cus D'Amato, who recognized Tyson's potential and helped channel his aggression into the sport of boxing, is also a significant focal point. D’Amato’s mentorship provided Tyson with not just boxing skills, but also essential life lessons about discipline and respect.
Boxing Career and Achievements
Tyson's rise to fame in the boxing world was meteoric. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at 20 years old, showcasing an unparalleled combination of speed, power, and ferocity in the ring. The show highlights key fights that defined his career, including his knockout victories and the unprecedented achievement of holding the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles simultaneously. Tyson's fighting style, often characterized as ferocious and intimidating, paved the way for a new generation of boxers but also led to immense pressure that would follow him throughout his career.
Life Behind Bars
The narrative doesn’t shy away from the darker chapters of Tyson’s life. His conviction on rape charges in the early 1990s led to a three-year prison sentence. This period was pivotal for Tyson, who reflects on the isolation and introspection forced upon him during his time in prison. He discusses how incarceration changed his perspective on life, instilling a sense of humility and prompting a reevaluation of his values. During this time, he turned to reading and self-education, exploring various philosophies that helped reshape his outlook.
Lessons Learned
Throughout the performance, Tyson emphasizes the many lessons learned from his tumultuous experiences. Key themes include redemption, resilience, and the importance of self-reflection. He talks about the significance of personal accountability and how understanding and accepting one’s mistakes can lead to true growth. Tyson's candidness about his struggles with anger, addiction, and understanding his place in the world resonates deeply with audiences, revealing a side of him that is often overlooked amidst the controversies.
Cinematic Direction
With Spike Lee at the helm, the show is not just a simple recounting of Tyson's life but a compelling cinematic experience that brings the audience closer to the complexities of his character. Lee's unique storytelling style, combined with Tyson's raw, unfiltered narrative, creates a powerful synergy that leaves a lasting impact. The performance is interspersed with dramatic visuals and sound, enhancing the emotional weight of Tyson's stories and creating a gripping atmosphere that holds the audience’s attention from start to finish.
In conclusion, MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH is not just a performance about a boxing legend; it is a profound exploration of a man’s struggle against his own demons and the society that shaped him. It reminds us that behind the fame and controversy lies a deeply human story filled with both triumphs and failures.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
